use the RESET command to clear the file equate -- DBUTIL does NOT allow any
file equates, even if they are 'correct', to point to the database [that't
the gist of the error message].  This is why the previous messages gave
specific instructions to log on as the creator IN the group where the
database resides.  (DBUTIL, as I recall, doesn't even allow specifying the
group for some commands...)
